Thanks for stopping by! I am Connie Jones-Steward, aka Officiant Lady. I am a professional wedding officiant, ceremony celebrant and modern minister for Los Angeles, Orange County and all of Southern California. I am so glad that you are considering me to be a part of the happiest day in your life. My desire is to work with amazing couples who want an amazing, customized wedding ceremony that goes beyond satisfying the legal requirements.
As a non-denominational and inter-faith celebrant, I believe in the human need for ceremony and the power of ritual to add meaning to human existence. Therefore I work closely with my clients to create and perform ceremonies that reflect their beliefs, philosophies of life, and personalities.
Whether your ideal ceremony is a short yet elegant elopement or a grand affair in front of 200 of your friends and family, my goal is to create for you an unforgettable, unique and captivating wedding experience that showcases the story of your love.In addition to weddings, I also offer pre-marital and marriage coaching, baby naming ceremonies and other life-cycle ceremonies.

Services
The initial consultation is always complimentary and should take 15-30 minutes.
The goal of the initial meeting should be a meet and greet between both parties of the wedding couple and the officiant.
I usually have the couple to meet with me at a Starbucks or Panera Bakery that is within 5 miles of my home but easy to get to and with plenty of parking.
If weather permits we can even meet at a public park.
The consultation can also be conducted via telephone, Skype or email; these options are especially suited to clients who are planning destination weddings in the Southern California and Los Angeles areas.

However the following faith based options are also available; Catholic, Protestant & Seventh Day Adventist.

Sometimes a couple needs to get married legally and quickly, without the fuss of a ceremony.
California marriage laws specifically state that there is no legally required form for the marriage ceremony.
Therefore a couple can be legally married by merely meeting with their officiant and declaring their intent to be married to each other.
For couples who desire marriage without wedding ceremony I offer the "One Minute Wedding" service, sometimes known as a "paperwork only" or "declaration and signing" wedding.
